re: Blade Runner fans What's the best version?

I've seen the original theatrical version approximately half a dozen times, the director's cut over a dozen and the final cut 3 or 4 times at this point. I must say that the "director's cut" (which Ridley himself did only as a response to the unauthorized workprint release - Ridley is "happier" with 1992's Director's Cut than the theatrical, but was ultimately unsatisfied with that product as well) is obsolete at this point. So, the only "true" choices are the theatrical release and the final cut. The Final Cut has all the improvements contained in the so-called Director's Cut and more. There were handful of continuity errors and a glaring problem with a particular stunt performance.

Big differences from Theatrical to 1992 DC - 1992 DC deletes the voiceover and adds the short version of the Unicorn Dream. Final Cut adds the full version of the Unicorn Dream.

Most body double/stunt performer sequences work in films because of a fast cut, facing away or clever use of intercuts. In Blade Runner (probably the most brilliant "in camera" special effects picture, likely to remain so for the foreseeable future with the rise of CGI), there was a particular sequence that the principal actor couldn't film because of the risk and the physical demands of the stunt. 40+ year old stunt woman Lee Pulford had to make a run through plate glass and she actually suffered minor cuts doing the stunt (and a great job, overall, on the stunt work).

Problem was (in addition to this being a slow motion scene - a nightmare for continuity, along with close ups, for a stunt performer insert) - they gave her a wig that bore little resemblance to the hair style worn by Joanna Cassidy's character, Zhora during the film. When Ridley made the "final" changes for the final cut, the most significant was a shot-for-shot replacement scene for the head of Zhora during that scene. They consulted the original prints, made Cassidy's hair up the same way and reshot the scene in green screen. They digitally replaced Pulford's head with Cassidy's from the reshoot from a quarter century later.

Other improvements in the final cut include fixing some continuity errors on the number of replicants, again dubbed in by M. Emmett Walsh, as his character spoke the conflicting lines in the original.

I know there are a host of other technical fixes, such as digitally removing signs of the lifts for the spinners, and seamless things like that. But, I think I've covered the significant content based ones.
